configured with an IP address, a gateway IP address, 2 DNS addresses,
and a subnet mask. The single IP address is shared between all slots.
To set up for network communications:
1. Ensure there is a DHCP server accessible to the CRD1700-4000E
on the subnet.
2. Connect one end of a standard 10 Base-T network cable to the
connector labelled
Host
on the back of the CRD1700-4000E.
Connect the other end of the cable to a hub which is connected to
your subnet.
3. Power-up the unit; the CRD1700-4000E performs its power-up
sequence, then attempts to collect all its network parameters from
the DHCP server. While collecting network parameters, all LEDs
flash green. Once configuration completes, all LEDs shut off.
If configuration of the unit from the DHCP server fails, all LED’s flash
red. The unit retries the DHCP request every 10 minutes.
Note:
Before communication between the SPT 1700 terminal and
the host computer can take place, the SPT 1700 Desktop
Software
must
be installed and running on the host com-
puter.
6 DHCP Address Mode
When using the 6 DHCP address mode, the cradle acquires 6 IP
addresses dynamically from the DHCP server: one for the cradle, one
for each of the 4 slots, and one for the expansion slot. This feature is
not enabled when using NAT translation. To perform this
configuration, run the flasher utility from the debug monitor. Follow
steps 1 through 6 in
Current Cradle Globals:
menu.
1. Select option 1 for Static mode. Set both Static Mode and NAT
Mode to
0
to acquire 6 IP addresses from the DHCP server.
2. Type
F
to write these values to Flash memory.
3. Type
Q
to quit the program and exit to E86mon.
Cycle power to the cradle to effect the latest changes.
